I am looking to join MS Flight Simulator clubs in north New Jersey or NYC. I havent found any club yet. Is there anyone who could help me? Thanks.

It's been a while since I flew with MS flight simulator and I got back in the cockpit the other day. I got CH yoke and rudder pedal and installed FSX. FSX is great but I have a problem (and in a way I think happened in older versions of MSFS): when I use the rudder to maintain runway alignment, it...

Hi all...need your veteran fs opinion. Building a pc for my Dad. Basically just a surfing and emailing machine. He likes some casino games so this is what the rig is built for. I was thinking of loading fs 2000 as a little bonus. I need to know if it will run ok on the system. AMD XP 2500...

Hi all...can I get started using a keyboard in this sim? Want to load the software but need some time to save up for a quality stick or yoke. TIA... DC

The problem with the supplied scenery is the discrepancy in locations when using the VFR UK Scenery, so if the default scenery remains enabled it can be ridiculous - for example, the Houses of Parliament in the River Thames (hmmm - not a bad idea! ;-) ). Am wondering if there's a patch to correct...

I just got my PPL and heard from some ATP rated friends that using MS FS 2004 could help a bit for getting down some of the navigation techniques for IFR. I figure for $50 that is about 25 minutes in a IFR GPS equipped plane. What is the minimum equipment *really* required to use MS FS...

Hi all. Just got this on Amazon for $27.00! wow great looking game! But surely there must be a way to use it without having disc 4 in the drive? The instx dont mention a way of course. Is there a patch that someone can point me to that works easily, as Im a computer hack.

Hello, my goal is to drive microsoft flight sim using an external data source. I read the netpipes SDK and am in the process of creating the binary conversion program from my data source to the "flight video" ..fsr format. I have questions about the section regarding the "ObjectID" field in the...

Anybody tried compiling or saving a GMAX source file after applying the fix? I didn't install it because I'm behind my servers. This is an exploiters dream come true. The Hotfix causes problems: http://www.discreet.com/products/gmax/gmax_alert.html Owain Robinson http://www.planesimulation.com/

Feeling nostalgic... I installed FS 3, 5.1, and 98 again. I also have FS2, but that one I have only runs on a Commodore 64/128. And my FS3 came on a single 720KB floppy. And boy is the detail in this version very barren! About only 8 buildings around Meigs Downtown Chicago). Grant Park is just a...

Hello all, I have a video performance issue with MSFS 2004. To get started here is my config: Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2 P4 3 GHz Processor with 2 MB Level 2 cache 750 MB RAM NVidia GForce FX 5500 256 MB Video Card RADEON 7000 / RADEON VE 32 MB Dual Channel Video Card

Does anyone know if Microsoft is still actively working on their flight simulator or is it really "as good as it gets"? My guess for a next version would be on-line scenery over a broadband link

Does this still support multiplayer options from FS2004, if so i cannot seem to find the various hosts who are out there. Phil.

Here is an excerpt from a message I got from Microsoft's support people... As I understand it, while playing Flight Simulator 2004 you are unable to connect the MSN gaming zone or search for IP games. Thank you so much for including the dxdiag report with your support request. As you have stated...

Hello, all. I'm fairly new to this group and have a question that this group's members will likely be able to answer. I'm about to purchase a new home computer and plan to run FS-COF on it. I plan to keep my old computer and network the two machines. I'm currently running FS2002 on the old...

I think it would be cool to be able to link up FS9 with a mate and "share the same aircraft" so to speak. Have the ability to both be able to control the aircraft and its systems. Doing a flight in one of the heavies and having a co-pilot there as a resource to set radios, lower/raise the gear and...

Hi A few months ago I found a homepage for a flight sim with lots of monitors - I think this guy had something like 15. Now I can't find it again. Anyone know where I can find it, or one like it? Thanks Tony

How can I hook-up 3 monitors to my FM 2002? I would like to use one for the instr. panel and the other 2 for left and right window scenery. Thanks in advance. Steve S.

What suggestions for hardware can anyone provide me with to build a simulator capable of operating on multiple software platforms, i.e. Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane as a minimum plus as many other software simulators as feasible? I would like the flexibility to keep the hardware as...
